Canon EF 40mm f/2.8 STM Lens - Fixed

A unique and indispensable addition to Canon's series of EF lenses, the EF 40mm f/2.8 STM offers an ultra-slim and lightweight design. Incredibly compact in size, the EF 40mm f/2.8 STM delivers high image quality from the center to the periphery thanks to its advanced lens configuration including an aspherical element, a bright 2.8 aperture, and optimized coatings that minimize ghosting and flare while providing exceptional color balance. The EF 40mm f/2.8 STM's unobtrusive design helps the photographer avoid overwhelming their subjects with a large lens and to remain discreet in sensitive shooting situations with no compromise in performance. Its diminutive design is complemented by features such as a developed stepping motor for smooth and quiet continuous AF while capturing video with the Canon EOS Rebel T4i DSLR, a circular aperture (7 blades) for beautiful soft-focus backgrounds, and a short minimum focusing distance of only 0.98 ft./0.30 m.

    5 Stars
    This is phenomenal.
    I have adored photography for the past decade or so, ever since my early teens. I started out with a little point and shoot camera and then upgraded to a Rebel XSi, which I used for years and years. However, recently I purchased a new T3i for myself, so that I can start broadening my horizons now that I'm growing older. On my Rebel XSi, I used the default 15-85 mm kit lens exclusively. I never had the money to invest in a new lens, nor did I really feel the need to ( man, did I learn to squeeze every ounce of usability out of that kit lens, let me tell you).However, after years of use (and some abuse) my trusty 15-85mm was beginning to wear out. Also, as I grew more skilled at photography, I began to notice some aberration, color issues, and general lack of focus in the 15-85mm. So, I decided it was high time I upgraded.I spent awhile looking at the 50mm (Nifty Fifty as I've heard it called countless times), figuring it was the best fit for me. It was cheap, and seemed pretty versatile. So I was about to order that. However, I decided to scope around a day or two more for a lens, just to make sure I got what I wanted. Then I found this 40mm (commonly called a pancake lens as well). I looked up a few video demos of it, some picture samples, and I was sold.After trying this thing out for a few weeks now, let me tell you, I am floored with how incredible it is. The pictures are crystal clear and sharp as a tack. The colors are phenomenal, well-represented, and don't bleed or blur. It's super low profile as well, which is truly magnificent. I never really cared about having a big lens on the front of my camera. However, I've noticed myself throwing my camera in my truck more often these days, now that I have this lens. It's so much more portable, lighter, and just less cumbersome to have around. If I have my camera slung around my back, I hardly even notice it. This is such a great plus if you're like me, and take your camera everywhere (and I mean everywhere).The size and profile aren't the major pluses with this camera, though. I seriously can't even begin to stress how incredible the image quality is. It also works incredibly well in low-light situations. I've seen some other reviews saying it's not the best for low-light... but in my experience, it works incredibly well. I've been able to take some street shots at night without any notable dampening in image quality, and that was without a tripod.My only complaint (which is minor), is that you can't use the manual focus unless the camera is on and the lens is attached... I love to detach my lenses from my camera and use them that way. However, since you can't manually focus it on its own, I cannot use this lens for free-lensing. But that's alright, I have other lenses for that purpose.I don't want to ramble on any longer. However, if you're considering this lens at all, just get it. It's fairly inexpensive as far as lenses go. It has a solid build-quality, and you will be extremely satisfied with the shots this little guy produces.Just buy it. You won't be sorry.

    Used this lens with Canon M6 using Canon Adapter.
    1) Fast focussing and very sharp images with bright colours
    2) Not much flaring seen with bright lights.
    3) Versatile for portraits and low light photos, along with videos
    4) Compact Pancake, good build quality.
    5) IMO better than 50mm, and consumes far less battery than the 50 mm.
